"interactive space" by us.
4. Problems We Had To Overcome

First, our time is limited. Every one of us has to go to classes as required, and teaches are more tired. We have to make use of Sundays. We do not have spare Sundays for many weeks.

Second,difficulties on communication. Our group communicates with Mr. Liu by QQ every week. For the low speed of our internet, we can not upload pictures to FTP. Sometimes, Mr. Yan will transmit our information by QQ or e-mail. It is really annoying that the pictures transmitted through e-mail can not be opened.

Third, conquer difficulties. We have heavy load from school study usually, so do the teachers. To complete our webpage all right, we come to teachers home in the afternoon of Friday, and input the articles and diaries into the computer. The teacher encourages us that “Our group is the most one with greatest strength.” And he gives our webpage reasonable plan, which peace our impatience and makes us concentrate on everything.

Fourth, the English proficiency: our English is not good enough. For the committee requires English version, we have to turn to the teachers in Qian Xiang Wan Cai. Acknowledgment for them.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

We have so many experiences, for making paper cut more popular among people. We suggest art teacher to introduce paper cut into class. And under the support from headmaster, we hold a paper cut match. The people says: I have not seen paper cut for a long time. Hearing such compliments, I know people love paper cut also. We ever get help, support and hope from

many people. Paper cut is a

traditional culture, which has a long history. When I appears on the window glasses, you will be proud of being a Ningxia person.
